I am going to be changing my clutch on my 4x4 saff which is running stage 3 closed loop at approx 300 ish bhp's. Can anyone andvise a dumbo like me whether the recommendation to get an Alcon plate and a Ford cover is still valid as there were thoughts they had changed the cover.

Any help much appreciated

Also, can anyone tell me if an AP Organic Clutch will handle 250bhp on an S2 RST?

 

Hijacker....pmsl

 

While we are at it, can anyone tell me what's the best stuff to clear a toilet blockage?

 

Keep talking I am sure the toilet will give up eventually from your verbal diahorrea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

nobody????

 

No idea pal, I just got an AP organic plate and uprated cover and bearing from Mike Rainbird for my stage 3 4x4 saff and its fine. A tad heavy compared to standard but holds the power more than adequately

 

OK mate, thanks for the reply.

 

If its any help, I am using AP fast roaf plate and cover on my 2wd with slightly more power, and it is wearing extremely well, particularly given the track use she gets

Here you go, I have someone that can give you a hand......

 

 

Mike recommended an AP organic for my 4x4 of comparable spec.

 

very interesting indeed. That seems to be different from before as Alcon was always the one to have.

i think the clutch is the least of your worries

although i am still waiting to see a good reply on the toilet blockage

 

You are in fact correct my haory arsed builder type friend however I will be needing to replace the clutch when the engine has been extracted from the vehicle.


Christian Unt Becky?

Did you manage to unblock the lavatory or are you still giving it a good talking to????

Graham

 

That should be fine as long as the cover is new.

If you plan to tune it further in the future I would fit the uprated cover and go hydraulic, you will then have a super heavy duty clutch but still have a light pedal.

Hydraulic conversion Ł575 plus vat
AP 6 paddle and cover Ł320 plus vat

Fitting of the clutch would be foc if done at the same time as a hyd conversion.

 

Thats great Martin thanks for the reply. I plan to keep at stage 3 ish, maybe a t34 later but cant afford to go daft on power.

I notice everyone, including you, has quoted AP clutches and not Alcon. Alcon was all the rage a year or so ago, have things moved on for AP and are they better clutches?

Sorry for asking all of these questins but I dont want to have to remove this engine again...lol
